      From: address@is.invalid              Herbert,              I just took a look at your batch file, and noticed this :              > more +%n% list.txt>list1.txt       > copy /b list1.txt + list.txt              I hope you realize that that method just "cuts the cards", and doesn't       change anything about the order of the files in the two parts. IOW, you are       only changing the starting image, and than continue in the same order as       yesterday and all the days before it.              ... if it where not for the issue that you take a partial copy from       "list.txt" and put it into "list1.txt", *but are not removing* that part       from "list.txt"              IOW, all the files in "list1.txt" will be present *twice* in the end       result - once at the start and once at the end.              A visual explanation :              Contents of "list.txt" : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9              Cut at number 6.              "list1.txt" will contain : 6,7,8,9              The end result (list1.txt + list.txt) is : 6,7,8,9 + 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9              But I don't think you will notice that much, in the light of the problem       that all images but two (the 9-to-1 in the middle and the 9-to-6 at the       end-to-start) are *always being shown in the same order*.              ... which might just be what your posts question is actually all about.              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
